10.5: Enable default permissions on shared folders
Authored by: DCCmikeE on Dec 07, '07 12:41:37PM

I tried to follow the examples given by sys0p and axelfoo on 11/16 and 11/24 respectively. But I am getting an error message in Terminal:
chmod: Failed to set ACL on file '/Users/Shared': Operation not permitted

So I entered: fsaclctl -p /Users/Shared -e
and it responded: fsaclctl: you must be root to enable/disable acls

This was after entering into Terminal: fsaclctl -p /Users/Shared -e
then logging out and back in,
then entering into terminal:
chmod +a "your_group allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit,read,write,delete,append,execute" /path/to/your/shared/folder
with my info replacing the place-holders.

I noticed the caveat of sys0p "First make sure that you have ACE enabled on your shared volume (it should be)."

Is that the problem?

thanks for your help.
